Valuation analysis for QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM)

Stock Traders Daily has initiated shares of QUALCOMM, Inc. (NASDAQ:QCOM) with a sell rating. Ours is a value based observation comparing earnings growth to PE multiples to determine relative value and our assessments suggest that although Qualcomm's PE multiple does not look expensive to the naked eye, it certainly does when compared to the earnings growth results.

In addition, we are in a macroeconomic environment that will not favor stocks that have deteriorating earnings growth, which is the characteristic fitting Qualcomm at this time. Our macroeconomic analysis is called The Investment Rate, and it suggests that natural demand for equities is declining and will continue to decline, and that means multiple contractions are likely, and when that happens investors look at stocks that are rich relative to their earnings growth rate through a different lens.

We expect investors to scrutinize shares of Qualcomm even more than they have already and we expect additional declines as this year continues.
